If they were President, 97 percent of Sri Lankan children will abandon war for peace, shows island wide children’s poll. The children of Sri Lanka - a tropical island that has seen nearly 20 years of armed conflict, now on hold under a cease fire agreement – want peace.

The children voiced their opinion about the island’s war-on-hold and stalled peace process, through a survey commissioned by the Children As Zones of Peace (‘CZOP’) - a collaboration of local and international NGOs and UN agencies.

The Children’s Opinion Poll surveyed 1,500 children between the ages of 9 and 16, from different religions, ethnic groups and socio economic classes.

A majority of Sri Lankan children surveyed preferred to promote peace and bridge political and ethnic differences, instead of resorting to arms.
